Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The primary endpoints are changes in bile acid composition.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary endpoints are changes in hepatic and peripheral insulin resistance (assessed by hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp at baseline and after 12 weeks), metabolic parameters (lipid profile, glycemic control) as well as changes in faecal microbiota, glucose and lipid content (assessed by analysing faeces samples). Finally, muscle and adipose tissue samples will be obtained to assess D2 mRNA and activity and phosphorylation status of the insulin signalling cascade.
